Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

ly killed Tai Ge’er for the title of the heir so that no one in the main branch could fight for it.

 

   “Sister-in-law, don’t you feel guilty for saying those words? It has nothing to do with us second branch…” argued Second Madam Shen.

 

   Eldest Madam Shen was unwilling to listen and continued to cry.
“…This is simply forcing us to die.
Once we are all dead, everything will be according to your wishes…”

 

   “Eldest daughter-in-law, no one wants to harm you and no one wants to harm your Tai Ge’er…”

 

   “No one wants to hurt my Tai Ge’er, yet my Tai Ge’er died so miserably out of nowhere! Mother, I know you are biased towards the second branch but Brother Rui is also your son, the son who sacrificed his life for the Shen family.
It has only been ten years since he was gone but now you treat his only son like this…I’m not going to live anymore, let me die with them together…” 

 

   Third Miss Shen was also sobbing, but she stubbornly held back her mother, who was about to slam her forehead against the wall.
She said, “Mother, don’t scare me, don’t scare your daughter…”

 

   “Shut up! Everyone, shut up!”

 

   Following these words was the sound of something being smashed onto the ground.
When everyone looked over, they saw Duke Ningguo standing there with his eyes shut in grief.

 

   “Eldest daughter-in-law, your words were truly inappropriate! I have never mistreated your main branch and even if there was something I was sorry for, it would be for my eldest son who has nothing to do with you and your son! The position of the heir was bestowed by His Majesty, and regardless of whether we wished to or not, we must accept it.
Even if the position of the heir was to be chosen by me, I would still give it to my second son, not Tai Ge’er!”

 

   Eldest Madam Shen smiled before saying, “Father, you are finally willing to admit the truth…”

 

   “As for why I wouldn’t give him the position, isn’t it all because of what you had taught him?”

 

   “Craving glory while being a good for nothing.
Having a vicious mind, yet not even the strength to truss up a chicken.
With ambitions loftier than the sky, yet failing to achieve any accomplishments.
Even if I were to give him this position, do you dare to let him accept it?!”

 

   “I…”

 

   “This unscrupulous child even dares to poison his grandfather.
Does he truly think that after poisoning this old man to death, the position would belong to him? The truth is even if this old man is no longer here, even if the second child is gone, he still won’t be able to remain in this seat for long before being forced aside by someone else.
It doesn’t matter whether you can accept this truth or not.
But since you can’t accept it, move out of my Duke Ningguo Manor, lest you see each other as an eyesore while living under the same roof!”

 

   Duke Ningguo’s words were harsh, obviously meaning to drive out the main branch, leaving Eldest Madam Shen unable to snap out of her daze.

 

   At this time, Second Master Shen suddenly exclaimed, “Father, father…” 

 

   Duke Ningguo’s face was as pale as paper.
He shut his eyes then collapsed.

   Xiaobao holding a cup of tea while stirring it with his chubby finger.

 

   “Huahua, drink the tea.”

 

   Tabby cat: *shrinks back* Meow…

 

   Xiaobao: Tell me the truth, did you also experience a rebirth or was it my mother who arranged you to be here?

 

   Tabby cat: *Continues to retreat to a safe place before sitting down to lick its paw in peace.*

 

   Xiaobao: If you don’t say anything, I will invite you to drink the tea.

 

   Tabby cat: But the thing is even if I were to say it, you must be able to understand.
Meow…

 

   Xiaobao: Huahua, don’t you know that you can’t just lick your paws like that? You saw how that person had died such a terrifying death.

 

   Tabby cat: *As if being scalded, he shook his paw vigorously*

 

   Meow, meow, you are so mean, meow, does your mother know?
